Bachelor of Dental Surgery

Fujairah University offers a Bachelor of Dental Surgery, an undergraduate professional program that trains students to diagnose, treat and prevent conditions affecting the teeth, gums and oral cavity. As a discipline, dentistry covers oral anatomy and physiology, dental materials, oral pathology, restorative and preventive dentistry, oral surgery and periodontics, combining scientific study with extensive clinical training. Early coursework typically establishes a foundation in human anatomy, biochemistry, physiology and microbiology, after which students move into dental-specific subjects and begin supervised clinical practice, learning to examine patients, diagnose oral health problems and perform procedures such as fillings, extractions and preventive treatments. Clinical training is a defining feature of the discipline, giving students hands-on experience working directly with patients under the supervision of qualified practitioners, alongside instruction in infection control, patient management and dental ethics. As students progress, many programs introduce more specialized topics such as orthodontics, prosthodontics, endodontics and oral surgery, giving graduates exposure to the range of subfields within dental practice. Graduates of a dental surgery program are prepared to pursue licensure to practice as dentists, subject to relevant registration requirements, and typically go on to work in private dental practices, hospital dental departments, public health dentistry or further specialized clinical training. The rigorous combination of scientific knowledge and hands-on clinical skill required in dentistry makes it a demanding but well-structured field of undergraduate professional study. Taught in English at Fujairah University, the program is located in the emirate of Fujairah. This bachelor's degree is accredited by the UAE Commission for Academic Accreditation.
